Beads and well wine.....

This week has been about making glass beads and well drinking wine.

We had an education/disaster day at the May day fair. It wasn't really for us partly down to our presentation/displaying wasn't a high enough standard but people were out for 50p bargins and well I don't have anything that's 50p.

Met a lovely lady called Rachel though who specialises in fused glass. Her work is just beautiful and very inspiring. http://www.magpieglass.co.uk/

I'm off on a course in fused glass jewellery this weekend so very excited!

My friend who showed me the wonders of silver clay is moving back to Bristol later this month so in her words we had to have "a few sherberts" or in my world wine! So Wednesday evening was filled with chatting, yummy Italian risotto and well more than a few sherberts!

Above is my favourite bead of the week - I melted together dark red, orange and dark yellow opaque and then swirled on some psyche.
